Re: FCC is considering expanding FM dial 82Mhz
Other than Japanese radios and hobbyists, who can even tune into frequencies below 87.7? It would take decades to replace the millions upon millions of radios. One interesting angle: There are still "TV Band radios" that carried the audio from VHF TV bands, and if channel 6 were to be reapportioned...

Re: Brother Stair on WCXI right now
I was a frequent listener to "Motown and a cup of joe" (Crystal Mayo) for three years. My morning drive had me listening as I started my commute, leaving only to listen to (WWJ) CBS News at the hour, thence returning to WNZK until I arrived at work. This was a hard loss to take. I find myself using ...

Re: BBC once again broadcasting on Shortwave to Europe for first time in 14 years
It's really sad that the IBU (I think) has banned shortwave broadcasters from any waveform other than horizontal polarization. Sometime about 2000, Radio Netherlands was broadcasting in what they called compatible single sideband (upper sideband with carrier). It was far better than double-sideband ...

Re: 3G cellular network shutdown
AT&T was supposed to shut down their 3G networks today. So far both of my old 3G flip phones (which I'm not happy I had to replace) are till receiving 3G signals (even though I can longer use them since I transferred my numbers to new phones). I stuck with flip phones, but I much preferred my LG-mo...

Re: Unused AM allocations
In my decades-long experience of listening to AM stations in NW Lower Michigan, the whole stretch has possibly the lowest soil conductivity anywhere. Don't believe that "8" on the map (I believe any terrain that hasn't been measured because it is rural is given an "8" if they haven't actually sent a...

Re: CHYR (when it was 710 AM or 730 AM)
They were 710 as a 10kW daytimer. At some time, they added nighttime service on 730 (they informed the audience to listen to a strange "Clockwork and whistles" recording and tune to 730 to continue listening) so that listeners could follow them there. They briefly went to 710 for awhile. Too bad the...

Re: Toledo Power Reduction
In some cases, I think including WWYC Toledo, "sunset in Bakersfield" represented an additional hindrance. For the time from New York sunset to Bakersfield sunset when WQXR/WQEW/WFME continued to use its daytime pattern as authorized sometime in the early 1960's. Some other 1560s in the middle (of ...

Honestly, I'd like to see The Zone on 98.3 or 105.5, probably no chance of it but it's the most listenable station in Toledo.

Re: WJMN dumping CBS?
I think it can be said for many TV operators in the digital age in the U.P. that a medium powered main transmitter - preferably on VHF - coupled with digital translators in major population centers would be the most effective way to maximize OTA reach. Indeed, most U.P. viewers were accustomed to p...
